Frequently Asked Questions

How did you get so good with technology?

YouTube University is the best University in the world. I highly recommend it. Just about everything that I've learned about technology has come from YouTube University.

Do I create websites?

I can advise you on where to go to get a website created. When I create websites for myself it's out of passion and necessity. I am not a web designer, I do not create websites for a living. Just out of necessity.
